Overheard in The Times of India's Premium Properties in Pune Exhibition:

In any property exhibition, i avoid visiting the stalls which promote pre-launch offers of upcoming projects in Pune real estate market. Because, i don't believe in pre-launch offers, anymore. Most of the pre-launch offers, you know, are good for the builders. Not for you - the property buyers.

However, I know that you like to read about pre-launch offers. And, i know, it's my duty to share information about ongoing and upcoming projects in Pune real estate market. So, have a look at these two pre-launch offers of upcoming 'affordable' housing projects near Wagholi.

Once sec, one more point - besides pre-launch offer is for the benefit of builder - please, keep in mind that - all 'small budget' projects are not 'affordable' - 'low budget' does not mean 'value for money' or - 'right price homes'.

Look at these offers as two major developments in Pune real estate market.

'Payment in installments - at 0 per cent interest rate' is the popular mode of payment for 'unauthorized' 'gunthewari' housing. But, now, W S Developers (www.wsdeveloperspvtltd.com) are offering the same terms of payment for "sanctioned & approved" (as per the builder's claim) Srushti Regency, a township of 2,000 units of 1 BHK & 2 BHK Flats at Wade Gaon, near Kesnand, off Pune Nagar Road!

This is a news blog. I have shared this news. I am against the pre-launch offers. Why pre-launch offers? I am against booking a flat at the launch or under-construction stage- unless there is some genuine and unique product. Like Vastushodh Projects' (www.vastushodh.co.in) Anandgram & Urbangram.

I believe that we must change the way we buy the property. We should stop booking and start buying ready for possession flats with occupation certificate from the authority.

You know? Professional investors who invest in commercial property also invest in ready & leased property!

I want to book 2BHK flat with WS Developer in Wade Gaon. Can you advice me this is good decision for me? Also builder told me one proposed Road directly from "Reliance mart, Kharadi" to "Wade Gaon" and distance around 8KM. Also told me STPI and Magarpata Phase-3 will proposed in Wagholi? So i just want to know this is true?. Please help me. Thanks is advance.

There are few things:1. 0% interest Rate.2. No finance requierd from any bank its provided by WS Developer, that's why i am intersted.3. According to builder after 3 yrs and proposed road will start then its (2BHK) cost will be approx 30Lacs.4. Its township project

So please help me. If any thing wrong with that project and i will cancel my idea.

Hi Ravi,Just came across ur blog.It's really nice to see that somebody is giving his time to make others dream come true.I am desperately looking for buying 1 bhk near Hinjewadi (within a 15 KM'S).Please suggest me a good project .My budget is around 22 Lakhs

I have been reading your blogs since last few months and I found that you have not been suggesting anyone with proper reasoning. You are either saying Yes or no(most of the time you say nbo to all the sites). Can you please tell me why not invest in Pristine or in WS developer project, when he has all the documents and legal true(NA approved)? whats the problem here?

Recently, I have booked a 1062 sq.. ft.. flat in Palm Atlantis, Wagholi by Majestic Mantra group. I wanted to know about the project however I have given the initial booking amount. Builder is saying project is NA approved and their APF formalities with the banks is going on.

I want to know is it a smart investment? Possession will be in Jan, 2016.
